Maybe later when I get a web server up. I believe cable modem technology is up to 36Mbps, but your cableco or ISP (@home, roadrunner, etc) probably has a bandwidth cap on it. I haven't built a gateway for a cable modem before, but I would expect that a P100, and a pair of quality PCI NICs (I personally recommend 3c905B-TX's) would be enough performance. Did you get a cable modem kit with an ethernet card? If so, what brand and model? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
